==Early life and education== Abigail Fronda Marquez was born in Santa Rosa, Laguna on June 16, 2000. She developed an interest in cooking at a young age, often preparing meals for herself when home alone, stating that she was never afraid to experiment in the kitchen. While growing up, selling food became a regular activity for her as she sold cookies and brownies that she learned to bake by following online recipes. Marquez credits her entrepreneurial spirit to her father, who ran a construction materials business, but claims her motivation for selling food stems more from her passion for cooking rather than from financial gain.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=GRANA |first=RHIA |title=This girl now has 2.9M followers on TikTok — and it all started with lumpia |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/ancx/food-drink/features/10/05/23/meet-tiktoks-lumpia-queen-foodie-creator-of-the-year |access-date=October 12, 2024 |website=ABS-CBN}}</ref>
